WHEREAS, on the date hereof, JFLEI owns a substantial economic

WHEREAS, JFLEI, Holdings, the Borrower and the Agent entered into
the Capital Call Agreement, dated as of May 29, 1998 (the "Original Capital

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the
First Amendment and Waiver, dated as of February 12, 1999, to the Credit

delivered this Agreement;
WHEREAS, JFLEI, Holdings and the Borrower will obtain benefits as a
result of the making of Loans to, and the issuance of Letters of Credit for
the account of, the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and, accordingly,
desire to execute and deliver this Agreement in order to satisfy the
condition described in the preceding paragraph and to amend and restate the
Original Capital Call Agreement; and
WHEREAS, JFLEI, Holdings and the Borrower also will obtain benefits
as a result of the effectiveness of the First Amendment and Waiver referred
to above and, accordingly, desire to execute and deliver this Agreement in
order to satisfy the condition described in the second preceding paragraph
and to amend and restate the Original Capital Call Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed:
1. CERTAIN DEFINED TERMS. As used herein, the following terms
shall have the following meanings:
"Agent" shall have the meaning provided in the first paragraph of
this Agreement.
"Agreement" shall have the meaning provided in the first paragraph
of this Agreement.
"Banks" shall have the meaning provided in the first paragraph of
this Agreement.
"Borrower" shall have the meaning provided in the first paragraph
of this Agreement.
"Capital Call Amount" shall mean $5,000,000.
"Capital Call Event" shall mean the first to occur of (i) an Event
of Default under Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement, (ii) an Event of
Default under Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement, and (iii) the failure of
Holdings to achieve at least $8,500,000 of Consolidated EBITDA for any Test
Period (I.E., any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of Holdings)
ending after the date hereof.
"Credit Agreement" shall have the meaning provided in the first
recital of this Agreement.
"Holdings" shall have the meaning provided in the first paragraph
of this Agreement.
"Investment" shall mean a cash equity capital contribution to
Holdings by JFLEI.
"Original Capital Call Agreement" shall have the meaning provided
in the third recital of this Agreement.
"Proportionate Share" of each Bank at any time shall mean a
fraction (x) the numerator of which is the sum of (I) the aggregate principal
amount of all Loans made by such Bank and then outstanding plus (II) the
amount (if any) of such Bank's participation at such time in outstanding
Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings and (y) the denominator of
which is the sum of (I) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans then
outstanding plus (II) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit
Outstandings at such time.
2. REQUIRED CONTRIBUTIONS TO HOLDINGS; ETC. (a) JFLEI hereby
absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that on the date any
Capital Call Event shall have occurred, JFLEI will, as soon as practicable,
but in any event within 45 days thereafter, make an Investment in Holdings
in an amount equal to the Capital Call Amount; PROVIDED that to the extent
such Capital Call Event arises because of an Event of Default under Section
10.05 of the Credit Agreement or if any such Investment in Holdings cannot be
made by any reason whatsoever, then (in either case) JFLEI's Investment shall
instead be made by means of the purchase by JFLEI from each of the Banks of a
subordinated participation in such Banks'
2
outstanding Loans (and, to the extent provided below, such Banks'
participations in outstanding Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit
Outstandings), PRO RATA among the Banks based on their respective
Proportionate Shares at such time, with such participations to be evidenced
by a subordinated participation agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent. In the event that participations are purchased by
JFLEI as provided in this Section 2, then (i) the Total Unutilized
Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall immediately
terminate as provided therein and (ii) the participations purchased from
each Bank shall be allocated ratably to the outstanding Loans and
participations in Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings of the
various Banks, although each Bank with a Revolving Loan Commitment shall
instead allocate any amounts received in respect of Swingline Loans or Letter
of Credit Outstandings first to Revolving Loans, with any excess above the
amount of outstanding Revolving Loans to be held by the Agent as cash
collateral for the participations purchased in outstanding Swingline Loans
and Letter of Credit Outstandings; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that to the extent the
respective Swingline Loans are repaid by the Borrower or the Letter of Credit
Outstandings are reduced or repaid without requiring the funding by the
respective Bank participating in same (and thereby eliminating the need to
use the collateral for the purchased participation therein), any excess funds
on deposit with the Agent as a result of the purchase of participations in
such contingent obligations shall be reallocated (at the time and to the
extent the Agent determines that excess amounts are then held by it) to
purchase participations as otherwise required by the immediately preceding
sentence.
(b) Holdings hereby irrevocably agrees that, immediately upon
receipt thereof, it will contribute the total Capital Call Amount received by
it pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 2 to the capital of the Borrower.
(c) The Borrower hereby acknowledges, confirms and agrees that
immediately upon receipt of the Capital Call Amount it shall apply such
amounts as a mandatory repayment of Loans in accordance with the provisions
of Sections 4.02(h) and (i) of the Credit Agreement.
3. PAYMENTS. All payments required to be made pursuant to this
Agreement shall be made in Dollars and in immediately available funds, and
shall be made on the same basis as provided in Sections 4.03 and 4.04 of the
Credit Agreement.
4. OBLIGATIONS INDEPENDENT. The obligations of JFLEI hereunder
are independent of the obligations of any Guarantor, the Borrower or any
other party, and a separate action or actions may brought and prosecuted
against JFLEI whether or not an action is brought against any Guarantor, the
Borrower or any other party and whether or not any Guarantor, the Borrower or
any other party shall be joined in any such action or actions. JFLEI waives,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of statute of limitations
affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof.
5. CERTAIN WAIVERS BY JFLEI. JFLEI hereby waives notice of
acceptance of this Agreement and notice of any liability to which it may
apply, and waives presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice of
dishonor, or nonpayment of any such liability, suit or taking of other action
by Holdings, the Borrower, the Agent or any Bank against, and any other
notice to, JFLEI or any other party liable thereon.

or unenforceability of all or any of the Loans and/or any of the other
Obligations or of any security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense
to this Agreement, and the obligations of JFLEI hereunder shall be absolute
and unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the
existence of any circumstance, including, without limitation, any bankruptcy

equitable discharge, except payment in full in cash of all Obligations in
